"Boss Lin, you might as well tell us in detail so that we don't blame a good person." Lin Shuyao was humble and generous!

Lin Yao looked Lin Shuyao up and down. It was obvious that this woman came from a wealthy family. Her every move was completely different from that of a commoner.

I have heard that the current Queen's sister, Princess Ningde, has left the city. Although no one knows where they are going, I think the woman who came to speak must be Princess Ningde.

The number of people is basically the same.

It seems that they are planning to go south.

"There is an official road next to this, but as you walked along, did you see any ordinary people walking on this road?"

There are so many things to say that I can’t even begin to describe them all.

Although Lin Yao cannot be said to be a good person, she is definitely not a bad person.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingxu and the others looked at each other. Although they did not take the official road, there were indeed no ordinary people among the people coming and going in the inn today.

According to common sense, the land nearby is fertile and there are many green mountains, so there should be people making a living in the mountains.

“Although this place is only two days and one night away from the capital, it has been ignored by the court.

People say that under the emperor's feet, one must abide by the law. The county magistrate of the capital city would never dare to blatantly oppress the people nearby.

But Qingzhou City can. The Qingzhou prefect appointed by the imperial court set up a checkpoint not far ahead. All ordinary people passing through this official road have to pay a customs fee. The caravans of wealthy merchants passing through have to pay dividends to the prefect every year. The source of these dividends is the profit they make by increasing the price of rice, flour, grain and oil by three times and then selling them to the people.

Tell me, am I doing a good thing or a bad thing by robbing them?" Lin Yao said, looking at Lin Shuyao leisurely.

Rumor has it that Princess Ningde is completely uneducated and although she looks outstanding, she is extremely vulgar.

As for her character, some people say that Princess Ningde is kind and generous and has a kind heart.

Some people also say that Queen Shen Qiuchi is extremely cruel and her sister must be of the same kind.

Now that they met and exchanged a few words, Lin Yao felt that the rumors might not be true.

Lin Shuyao looked very polite and didn't seem like a rude woman. She caught him but didn't torture him, so she wasn't a cruel and brutal person.

"I gave most of the looted property to the people nearby. Tell me, was this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"What Boss Lin did was certainly a good thing, but it was also a bad thing."

Hearing this, Lin Yao raised her eyebrows and motioned for Lin Shuyao to continue.

"Boss Lin, although this move can punish those bad guys, it also makes the people suffer more. You rob people here, and those merchants lose money. Naturally, you have to exploit the money back from the nearby villagers. What do you think, is it right or not?"

When Lin Yao heard this, her eyes froze.

She really had never thought about it.

She had only been here for a little over two months, and all she had ever thought about was robbing the rich to help the poor, and had never thought about anything else.

"Boss Lin has good intentions. Since the county magistrate in Beijing is not taking any action, Boss Lin can send the evidence of the Qingzhou governor embezzling money, along with the witnesses of nearby residents, to Beijing. You can go to the Dali Temple and beat the drum to report directly to the emperor."

The Dengwen Drum was set up by the founding emperor and is located right in front of the Dali Temple. When the common people have a serious grievance or want to report an imperial official, they can strike the Dengwen Drum. After their names are registered in the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple Minister will take them to the court to redress their grievances in public.

However, since the founding of the country, the Dengwen Drum has only been sounded once, and that incident eventually became a taboo in the entire Daliang.

“Little girls, you are still too young. You can’t just strike the Dengwen Drum whenever you want. Anyone who wants to strike the Dengwen Drum must abstain from food and drink for three days. Then, he or she must roll on the nail bed in the county jail in front of him or her, and then be tortured for a moment. Only if he or she is still alive can he or she go and strike the Dengwen Drum.” Lin Yao laughed sarcastically.

To put it bluntly, the Dengwen Drum is just a decoration.

Even if one has suffered a great injustice, after going through this, let alone getting justice for oneself, even staying alive would be a problem.

Lin Shuyao frowned when she heard this. She walked up to Shen Qingxu and whispered to her, "As long as there is solid evidence, it's ok to beat the drum. It seems that someone deliberately increased the punishment for beating the drum to prevent anyone from beating it."

Shen Qingxu nodded in understanding. Very good, it was her turn!

"I happen to have an acquaintance in the capital. If Boss Lin trusts me, I will send someone to escort Miss Lin to the Dali Temple with witnesses and evidence, and protect you to beat the drum to report." Shen Qingxu took a step forward and looked at Lin Yao.

She can finally do something for her sister!

As early as when they were on the road, Mu Yunzhou told her that he and Xu Xingyi were following his sister's orders to understand the people's sentiments and punish corrupt officials.

They have already started the main mission before even leaving the capital!

If Lin Yao could successfully meet her sister, she would ask her sister to punish the county magistrates in the capital and Qingzhou and restore peace to the people.

They did a good thing!

But who would have thought that Lin Yao directly rejected Shen Qingxu's proposal.

"No, I can't go to the capital for the time being. I have to wait for news from my sister here."

As Lin Yao spoke, her expression became lonely.

"What's wrong with your sister?" Mu Yunzhou hates people who don't finish speaking at once. It makes him anxious!

She said it all at once, if they could help, they would certainly help.

"My family lives in Qingzhou City, and my father is the accountant of a restaurant.

I have a younger brother and a younger sister. My younger sister is six years younger than me. When I was sixteen, I was a beautiful lady, and a well-known beauty in Qingzhou! But I didn't expect to be spotted by a bully in Qingzhou, who wanted to force me to marry him as a concubine. I didn't want to, so he killed my parents. "

"At that time, I was outing in the suburbs with my brothers and sisters. I luckily escaped, but he found me in the end. He captured my brothers and sisters and forcibly carried me into the mansion. I faked my death and escaped. Fortunately, I met my master. She taught me martial arts and left this posthouse to me."

"Some time ago, I heard that my sister is still alive and in Qingzhou City! But many people went to look for her, but to no avail. I want to wait a little longer, maybe I can find her."

"How abominable! We are going to Qingzhou as well. Miss, you can tell us your sister's name and the secret code between the two sisters, and we can help you find her." Mu Yunzhou slammed the table angrily. As a chivalrous hero, how could he stand idly by when he heard about such a kidnapping of a woman!

Lin Yao's eyes sparkled when she heard this, but she quickly hid it again. She looked at Mu Yunzhou in disbelief: "What the young master said is true!"

"Really!" Mu Yunzhou nodded solemnly. It couldn't be more real!

A hero is supposed to be chivalrous and righteous!

"My sister's name is Lin Tiao. This jade pendant was made by my father at a high price when my sister and I were born. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you gentlemen and ladies. I wonder what your names are." Lin Tiao stood up and was about to kneel down to Mu Yunzhou and others!

Shen Qingxu supported Lin Tiao who had obviously fallen. Seeing this, Xu Xingyi quickly signaled Yilan to go up. Yilan went up to check and made sure that there was nothing threatening on Lin Tiao before untying her!

"I will remain true to my name and surname, and I am still an independent hero. Don't worry, we will definitely help you find your sister when we get to Qingzhou!" Mu Yunzhou took the jade pendant from Lin Yao's hand and promised solemnly!
